Celine at the GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live! -- Countdown To Music's Biggest Night and Celebrating the Grand Opening of the GRAMMY Museum

[celinefan1985]

 

 

Even though her performances are not always as vocally technically perfect, she more than makes up up for it in performance. She really has come a long way and I think that's the only thing good about her going to Vegas. I remember watching that performance and thinking at the time, my God, why so stiff. And it's true seeing it again today, she was like a deer caught in the headlights.

Love don't quit your day job for comedy work...

Don't worry Xpresso, I won't take your comedy day job from you!

 

Ha Ha Ha, NOW you're funny!!

What are you smoking, lol "ML" wouldnt prove how good she is at all . its a great song and i'm happy its on her album and performed on tour because the tour are people who love CELINE generally,

but this enviroment, these DIVAS that are gonna be there and her possible nomination ALL need something other than a ballad. This performance needs to be UPBEAT and full of energy like

(The Best, River Deep Mountain High, Fade Away, Eyes on Me...ect.) but if she must do a ballad AGAIN it has to prove how great she is something like "All By Myself" or even "Think Twice".

Just my thoughts..

I couldn't disagree more. in that old letterman video I think she's ten times less cheezy and much more serious and believable. I don't see any deer in the headlights, I see a fierceness and determination in her face and a pro at work on the stage. the celine from vegas is too busy contorting her face like a clown whenever she lipsynchs and making crazy hand gestures and air guitar/violins

 

as much as fans find it endearing .. it turns a lot of ppl off

 

sometimes less is more

[jackydion]

is tonight??????

 

what time?

[Bellamy]

I disagree. Did you see Christina opening the AMAs last week? She was horrible. Mariah's performance was shaky in the beginning but ended okay.

Cause the end of ISIL was playback as always.

this is the only new "hit" she has right now

that would be awesome

For the sake of God. Please go grab the newly released DVD where she sang with others for 3 hours in one piece, 100% live.

 

That Céline is real, not the one that sang RDMH there on Letterman.

[gafsa]

Celine will perform Janis Ian's "At Seventeen," at Grammy, i read it somewehere in the web.

[anewdayhascome]

The Grammy Nominations Special will pay tribute to classics like Janis Ian's "At Seventeen," which Dion will perform. "It's a very deep, extremely sad song," she says. "The kids today go through so much. You have to look that way, you have dress that way and you have to be that thin. I think that's why I always hated school. I didn't fit in. I didn't look pretty. I didn't feel pretty. And I think that's why I can sing that song."

:wub: :wub:

I find it a bit annoying. LOL

 

Well, in everything, there has to be moderation...

 

I find it weird when fans try to mimic her distorted expressions.

Awesome NEWS!!!!!! I like this song hehehe.

 

 

Lyrics:

AT SEVENTEEN

I learned the truth at seventeen

That love was meant for beauty queens

and high school girls with clear skinned smiles

who married young and then retired.

 

The valentines I never knew.

The Friday night charades of youth

were spent on one more beautiful.

At seventeen I learned the truth.

 

And those of us with ravaged faces

lacking in the social graces

desperately remained at home

inventing lovers on the phone

who called to say – come dance with me

and murmured vague obscenities.

It isn't all it seems at seventeen.

 

A brown eyed girl in hand me downs

whose name I never could pronounce

said – Pity please the ones who serve.

They only get what they deserve.

 

The rich relationed hometown queen

marries into what she needs

with a guarantee of company

and haven for the elderly.

 

Remember those who win the game

lose the love they sought to gain.

In debentures of quality and dubious integrity.

Their small-town eyes will gape at you

in dull surprise when payment due

exceeds accounts received at seventeen.

 

To those of us who knew the pain

of valentines that never came.

and those whose names were never called

when choosing sides for basketball.

 

It was long ago and far away.

The world was younger than today.

when dreams were all they gave for free

to ugly duckling girls like me.

 

We all play the game, and when we dare

we cheat ourselves at solitaire.

Inventing lovers on the phone.

Repenting other lives unknown

that call and say – Come dance with me

and murmur vague obscenities

at ugly girls like me, at seventeen.
